4th of July Firecracker with Anita

Anita here today with a tutorial on how to make Lori’s 3D Firecracker.  You can find this file in her SVG shop here and here in the Silhouette Store.  I also used some parts of the 5X7 Box Card July 4th to add to the embellishments of my project.  You can find that file  here in Lori’s store and here in the Silhouette Store.  I love to mix and match Lori’s Echo Park collections on my projects and used I Love Winter and Go See Explore.

Here are the materials that I used for my project.

The firecracker wick is perforated so that you can fold the wick into a small square and then put it through the hole.

Next you are going to fold the tabs back and glue them to the inside of the cover of the tube.

Here is what is looks like from the front.

Next, fold down the tabs on the cover piece and glue them to one of the circles.  One of the extra red circles gets glued to the inside of the top to hide the tabs and glue.

Here is a photo of the Stickles that I put on the edges of the wick.

Repeat the process for the tube body.  This photo shows the red circle inside and I love the finished look.

Here is a close up photo of the embellishments.  I used the 4th of July circle from the box card.

That’s it for me today.  This is so cute and you can fill it with candy or leave it empty and on your table for a holiday centerpiece.

Hugs,

Anita

 


Digital Inspiration with Ashley

I hope you are having a great April so far. If you are thinking ahead a little bit, you might have graduations coming soon.  I’m thinking a little more ahead; I won’t have a graduate until next May, but I just love the new Graduation Sentiments from Lori.

I have so many ideas to use these phrases.  The bundle includes 9 phrases in SVG and PNG format.  You can use them as cutting files for cards or posters. You can use them in digital layouts like I have done below.  And another fun idea is to load the PNG files to your favorite printer to add to a Photobook.  I tested Persnickety Prints website, and the Phrases work perfectly in all the options of books or collages. Using the phrases and your favorite pictures, you could create a beautiful gift for your favorite Graduate.

So hop on over to get the phrases, and don’t forget to add the free Owl that is available this week with purchase.

Besides the Graduation Phrases, I used the following files:

Mod Papers Turquoise

Camera from I Love Family Element Pack 1

Soccer ball from That’s My Boy

Life Template SQ set 10

Have a great weekend and happy creating.

 

St. Patrick’s Day Card with Anita

 

Hi Everyone:

Anita here with a card that I just fell in love with.  These pop up box cards of Lori’s are so cute and so easy to put together.  You can find this file called Pop Up Box Card St. Patrick’s Truck here in Lori’s store and here in the Silhouette Store.  I made this for my son and daughter-in-law as he has and loves his truck.  I used several of Lori’s Echo Park Collections to complete my card.  I used Happiness is Homemade, Celebrate Easter, I Love Winter, Celebrate Spring and some cloud stickers from the Celebrate Spring collection and those adorable enamel dots from Celebrate Easter.

This is how the card looks half way open.  The dimension is so cool on these cards.

Here it is complexly flat.  Also, Lori has a wonderful, quick video tutorial on how to put these cards together on her YouTube Channel here.  Hope you have a great St. Patrick’s Day and be sure to check out all the fun cut files Lori has to celebrate the wearin’ O the Green.

Hugs,

Anita

 

Snow, Sparkle and Shine Card with Anita

Anita here,  on this last Monday in January with an A2 Stacking Card Base Snowflake card (here in the Silhouette Store).  Isn’t it just so cute?    I used Lori’s Echo Park line called I Love Winter.  I love how sweet this collection is!    I used some of the  matching brads and a sticker from the collection to finish  my card.

 

I did not pop up my layers but you certainly could to give it some more depth and dimension.

That’s it for me today.  I hope that everyone has a great day and be sure to check out the A2 Stacking Base Card Snowflake as well as so many other wonderful designs when you visit Lori’s SVG Shop or the Silhouette Store.

Hugs,

Anita
